Verse 1:

C                      F
Now when that I was married
C                      Am
And in my marriage bed
C                             F
There came a bold sea captain
C                G    C
And he stood at my bed head
C          G                   F            C
Saying, ' Arise, Arise, young wedded man
F         C             Am
And come along with me
    C
To the lowlands of Holland
       Am   F        C
For to fight the enemy'

Verse 2:

C                      F
Now Holland is a lovely land
C                      Am
And in it there grows fine grain
C                             F
It is a place of residence
C                G    C
For soldiers to remain
C          G            F      C
Now the sugarcane grows plentiful
F         C             Am
The tea grows on each tree
   C
I only had the one to love
     Am     F        C
And now he's gone far away from me


Verse 3:

C                      F
Said the mother to her daughter
C                      Am
'Give up your soil and bed
C                             F
Is there ne'er a man in Ireland?
C                G    C
That will be your heart content
C          G             F      C
Way there's men enough in Ireland
F         C             Am
But alas there is none for me
      C
Since high wind and stormy sea's
       Am   F        C
Have parted me love and me

C                      F
I'll wear no shoes all on my feet
C                      Am
No comb all in my hair
C                             F
I'll wear no handkerchief around my neck
C                G    C
For to shade my beauty fair
C   G          F      C
And neither will I marry
F         C     Am
Until the day I die
      C
Since high wind and stormy sea's
       Am   F        C
Have parted me love and I
